Membership in the Chivalry carries a Patent of Arms and is awarded by the Crown to those who have demonstrated qualities of nobility and outstanding achievement in armoured heavy combat in the Kingdom.

A Knight is a member of the Order of Chivalry who has sworn fealty to the Throne upon his/her elevation to the Peerage.

A Master at Arms is a member of the Order of Chivalry who did not swear fealty to the Throne upon their elevation to the Peerage. This was originated for those who could not swear fealty because of modern loyalty oaths.
